Summary[edit]

Description

My first sighting of this large eagle! A large bird ~60-75 cms in height and around 2.5 kgs, it is one of the larger eagles I have seen (and I have not seen many!). Its primarily feeds on fish, but also hunts for smaller reptiles and maybe water birds. We sighted it inland near a fresh water lake that is drying up fast. There were 2-3 birds in the area, we sighted 2 for sure, this adult and another juvenile. I am not sure if we saw another one since both male and female look very similar.

We started around 3.30 Am and reached the place around 6.30 Am. But by 9.30, the place was crazy hot and we left in a hurry since we couldn't bear it. Maybe if we stayed more, am sure we could have seen it hunt.

Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Please stay safe and healthy.
